Can you cite some specific examples?
Do you mean gopher, nntp?
- DannyBee 10y agoXHTML vs HTML?
- nostromo 10y agoJavaScript is a good example. It wasn't the only web scripting language available, there was JScript and Java Applets and VBScript. JavaScript won and now it's ubiquitous.
- gm-conspiracy 10y agoI agree with your JScript and VBScript answers, but not Java applets.
- gmazza 10y agoAnd for an example of co-existence of competing languages, see javascript triggering flash/actionscript (e.g. for clipboard access) and vice-versa (e.g. for DOM access). Both are somewhat dated examples, that is pre-HTML5.
- ygra 10y agoJScript is simply Microsoft's name for its JavaScript implementation. Presumably to avoid Sun's ire.
- yarrel 10y agoThe entire history of HTML up to and including HTML5. :-)
- DannyBee 10y agoI was gonna say, i think of all the arguments one can make, this is pretty much the least viable :) Once the web became mass-market, standards pretty much became a complete mishmash in every area.
